"My Tattoos. "
"He who makes a beast out of himself,
gets rid of the pain of being a man," -Samuel Johnson
Can You feel My pain
Can You see My Shame
You don't have to look
deep; it's Written on My
face
Can You see My Scars
If You felt this body of
flesh that I wear;
Yes; ran Your fingers
across Me then, I'd be
readable: like You were,
"Helen Keller," reading
Braille
Cause every inch of Me
has a Story to Tell
If You Ventured in, beyond
the Vail; into the Facade
that I wear
Because each One of Us
is a Book Written within
and without
We are the Manuscript
and the...
"Intellectual Concept,"
Engraved by the...
"Pen of Life,"
Whether We want it to, it
Carves Us All, like a knife
Strife, Hatred; Malice from
the Shit We've been through
that Inadvertently, makes...
Us; so
Can You see My Scars
If You felt this body of
flesh that I wear;
Yes; ran Your fingers
across Me then, I'd be
readable: like You were,
"Helen Keller," reading
Braille
I don't Wear My heart
on My Fucking Sleeve
but what's Underneath
and Unseen is...
Completely Distinguishable
